Organic electrosynthesis has received great attention as a powerful green tool for synthesis, affording less waste production, less chemicals spent, and often fewer reaction steps than conventional methods. Functional group interconversion and C–C bond generation by imposition of a proper electrode potential is what lies behind organic electrosynthesis processes. Paired electrochemical reactions, indirect electrosynthesis, electrochemical microreactors, and the use of ionic liquids are some of the highlighted means that contribute to optimization of the overall process. Necessity to use specific organic solvents combined with supporting electrolytes is one of the main limitations to be overcome to make the electrochemical process more economically feasible when compared to nonelectrochemical processes. Numerous examples from the bench scale to industrial routes such as adiponitrile, substituted benzaldehydes, anthraquinone, fluorinated products, and succinic acid production are well described throughout this review.

有机电合成：从实验室实践到工业应用

作为一种强大的绿色合成工具，有机电合成受到了广泛的关注，与传统方法相比，其产生的废物更少，化学物质的消耗更少，反应步骤也更少。通过施加适当的电极电位可以进行官能团的相互转化和CC键的生成，这是有机电合成过程的基础。配对的电化学反应，间接电合成，电化学微反应器和离子液体的使用是有助于优化整个过程的一些突出手段。与非电化学方法相比，必须使用特定的有机溶剂与支持电解质的组合是要克服的主要限制之一，以使电化学方法在经济上更加可行。
